How MicroCook has evolved..............

Version 1.2 - Released as shareware in September 1993.
Original version.

Version 1.3 - Released as shareware in November 1993.
* Increased the capacity from 900 to about 2000 recipes per
  database. (Free RAM dependent.)
* Added possibility to edit the recipes as they are imported.
* Added Loading by recipe numbers, and displaying the recipe
  numbers in the Index listing.
* Added Sort while in the Index.
* Added variable width of the MC ASCII Export files. This is for
  BBS's where page width is narrower than 78 characters.

  room for in the current database is listed. Also free disk
  space is displayed.

  and Index load.

  Exports.
* Added more options for recipe selection for export.
* Added an option in Setup to chose between 12 or 24 hour clock.
* Fixed bug that locked up MicroCook on exit when used on PC's
  with 8088 CPU and CGA monitors.
  (Bobby F. on GEnie received FREE registration for reporting the
  CGA lockup bug).
* Changed some color combinations that was hard to see on low
  resolution CGA monitors.
* Added a few screen savers, just for the fun of it.
* Fixed bug that would mess up the default directory if MCOOK was
  entered as a directory in the PATH in AUTOEXEC.BAT
* Fixed bug so MicroCook will work in OS/2.
  (Casey H. on CIS received FREE registration for reporting the
   OS/2 bug).
* Plus improved and changed many small things here and there.....

Version 1.34 - Released as shareware in March 1994
* Added option to remove blank lines between recipes when
  printing recipes.
* Added option in the Index to type in first letter of recipe
  name or category to move quickly to a recipe.
* Added "Delete This Recipe" menu function while recipe is
  displayed in the editors.
* Added option in Setup to turn off Chimes and Beeps.
* Fixed bug that could cause PC to hang when exiting MicroCook.
* Fixed bug that started Screen Saver prematurely.
* Added option to purchase an additional recipes when
  registering (See ASSORTED.TXT).
* Added support for Meal-Master(TM) 8.0 and MMCONV 1.60
  ASCII Import.
* Added option to set newly created database as active.
* Added option to select more files after an Import.
* Plus a few more small fixes and improvements.

Version 1.35 - Maintenance release April 1994
NOTE: These changes/add-on's are not in the manual - yet.
* Improved Meal-Master Imports. Should now be able to handle most
  of the MM ASCII formats.
  (Florence F. on GEnie received FREE registration for reporting
   some MM Import problems).
* Added option to have Recipe Names automatic capitalized. If ON,
  only the first letter in each word will be converted to upper
  case while the remaining letters are converted to lower case.
  This will work both in the editor and during all the imports.
  This option can be turned on or off in Setup.

Version 1.36 - Maintenance release June 1994
* Fixed bug in Index Sort. When sorting after either Index View
  or Disk View, the main index array got "scrambled". It also
  required a new search since the search array was cleared.
  (Scott M. on Internet received a FREE registration for
   reporting this bug).

Version 1.37 - Maintenance release September 1994
* Fixed bug in "Recipe Not saved" warning window. When 'F' was
  selected to bypass recipe save, the Edited flag did not reset.
* Plus fixed a some other minor "blemishes".
* Also added printing of the manual directly from Print Menu, and
  printing of the registration form. This last function is ONLY
  visible when the KEY file can't be found in the directory with
  MCOOK.EXE. (Terry M. on AOL had this idea. Thanks.)
* Added Option to print Database name and recipe number on
  printout of recipe. See Setup (ALT-U) (R.W. on CIS had this
  request)
* Changed Setup so if other than Default database is loaded and
  Setup is saved (F4), the default database is not loaded unless
  the path or database name is edited.

Version 1.37 - Dated October 6, 1994
* Added information regarding direct registration on CompuServe.
  See SWREG.DOC (Thank you to Patrick from Australia for the
  idea).

Version 1.38 - November 1994.
* Added printing from ASCII File viewer.
* Added option in Setup to enter your own personalized heading on
  the printout of recipes (See SETUP, ALT-U). (Thanks to Donald
  A. from New York for that idea).
* Added search on whole word or syllable in disk search/view.
  A search on the word NUT with search on whole word will not
  find nutmeg or nuts, while search on syllable will find them.
  (Thanks to Charlie G. in Texas for asking for that feature)
* Added "hot-key" for fast change between editors. CTRL-Arrow Up
  will move cursor the next editor up. CTRL-Arrow Down will move
  it to editor below the current.
* Fixed "bug" in Index Select mouse routine. A double click on an
  index line will now react much faster when loading the recipe.
* Added "beep" (If Sound ON in Setup) when using CTRL-PageUp or
  CTRL-PageDown, and you are at the end of the database and start
  over again.
* Including over 2000 FREE recipes when registering.
* Added a few new Screen Saver graphics.

Many of these additions and improvements were suggestions from
MicroCook users. So it help to "complain", plus it might result
in a FREE registration if the bug has not been reported before.
Together WE can make MicroCook better!
